All proceeds from the event benefit the Marshall Faulk Foundation, a local non-profit led by SDSU Aztec and NFL superstar Marshall Faulk. The Foundation provides funding for local San Diego inner city youth programs that focus on sports and education to keep kids off the streets. Specifically, the funds procured from this event will go to the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA and to the SDSU Aztec Club (formerly known as the SDSU Aztec Athletic Foundation) to create scholarship opportunities for the SDSU Aztec Football Program.

This year the Foundation hopes to raise more than $50,000 to be given to these two great organizations. In its first two years, this event has donated more than $35,000 to San Diego State University’s Aztec Club and more than $20,000 to the Jackie Robinson YMCA.

The Aztec For Life Homecoming Celebration will be a commemoration of SDSU football both past and present. The event will help kick-off the school’s homecoming festivities by supporting the Aztecs as they battle the Air Force Falcons at Qualcomm Stadium the following night. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. for VIPs and sponsors with a private reception and autograph signing in the “28 Club.”

The evening will also provide guests complimentary bar and signature dish tastings from some of San Diego’s best restaurants including Bully’s East, Café Sevilla, J Six, Fleming’s, Pamplemousse Grill and more. Guests also have the opportunity to bid on fabulous auction packages including priceless sports memorabilia, great vacation getaways and much more. To top off the evening guests will be entertained by the fabulously unique and energetic sounds of renowned band, NRG.
